This happened with a Kindergarten student.
I had several students tell me that one student said a "cuss word" in the bathroom. Of course, with kindergarteners some students would think that words like "stupid" or "idiot" are cuss words, and though they are not very nice words, that would be handled differently. So I go to the student and say "Did you say a cuss word in the bathroom?" He replied "Yes." Me: "What sound did it start with?" Him: "'Fuh', and the other sounds were 'uh' and "'ck'". My mouth all but fell open. Part of me wanted to say "Great segmenting!" while the other part of me wanted to address the situation and try to make sure it didn't happen again. Needless to say, I addressed the situation.

Thats a cute (and somewhat disturbing!) story! But I love how our "reading" minds automatically turn every situation into a reading lesson. Haha. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAA...Only another kindergarten teacher can truly relate! I have had similar experiences this year - On the playground: Child 1: She said a cuss word! Me: (Thinking - She is such a sweet child. I doubt she knows any cuss words.) Child 1: Ms. Patton, she said b****! Me: Sweetheart, did you say something not so nice? Child 2 - child in question (visually upset): I didn't say anything except I was gonna go over to them benches. Me: (Thinking - Oh, that makes sense now!)
ReplyDeleteWhen my middle child was a Kindergarten student, she came to me and said, "Mommy, Derek said the "G" word!" I could not imagine what that was; so , I asked. She said, "he said God!" LOL My children are not allowed to use "God" when they are mad or frustrated...only "Gosh"...guess she was listening!! :o)
